THE CONSTITUTION 



OF THE 



Society of the Sons of the Revolution. 



It being- evident, from the stead}^ decline of a, proper 
celebration of the National Holidays of the United States 
of America, that popular concern in the events and men of 
the War of the Revolution is g-radually declining-, and that 
such lack of interest is attributable, not so much to the 
lapse of time and the rapidly increasing- flood of iramig-ra- 
tion from foreig-n countries, as to the neg^lcct, on the part 
of descendants of Revolutionary heroes, to perform their 
duty in keeping- before the public mind the memory of the 
services of their ancestors and of the time in which they 
lived; therefore, the Society of the Sons of the Revolution 
has been instituted to perpetuate the memory of the men 
who, in the military, nava.1, and civil service of the Colon- 
ies and of the Continental Cong-ress, by their acts or coun- 
sel achieved the independence of the country, and to fur- 
ther the proper celebration of the anniversaries of the 
birthday of Washing-ton, and of prominent events con- 
nected with the War of the Revolution; to collect and se- 
cure for preservation the rolls, records, and other docu- 
ments relating- to that period; to inspire the members of 
the Society with the patriotic spirit of their forefathers, 
and to promote the feeling- of friendship among- them. 

The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, 
which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor 
in their respective by-laws, and oftener if found expedient; 
and at such annual meeting- the reasons for the institution 
of the Society shall be considered and the best measures 
for carrying- them into effect adopted. 

The State Societies, at each annual meeting-, shall choose, 
by a majority of the votes present, a president, a vice- 
president, a secretary, a registrar, a treasurer, a chaplain, 



32 Sons of ibz Hcpolution. 

and such other officers as may by them respectively be 
deemed necessary, tog-ether with a board of managers con- 
sisting of these officers and of nine other members, all of 
whom shall retain their respective positions until their 
successors are duly chosen. 

Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annu- 
all}^ or oftener, to the other State Societies, a circular-letter 
calling attention to whatever may be thought worthy of 
observation respecting- the welfare of the Society or of the 
g-eneral union of the States, and g-iving- information of the 
officers chosen for the year; and copies of these letters 
shall also be transmitted to the general secretary to be 
preserved among- the records of the General Societ}^ 

The State Societies shall regulate all matters respect- 
ing- their own affairs, consistent v/ith the g-eneral good of 
the Society; judge of the qualification of their members, 
or of those proposed for membership, subject, however, 
to the provisions of this Constitution; and expel any mem- 
ber who, by conduct unbecoming- a gentleman or a man of 
honor, or by an opposition to the interests of the commun- 
ity in general or the Society in particular, may render 
himself unworthy to continue in membership. 

In order to form funds that may be respectable, each 
member shall contribute upon his admission to the Society, 
and annually thereafter, such sums as the By-Laws of the 
respective State Societies may require; but any of such 
State Societies may provide for the endowment of mem- 
berships by the payment of proper sums in capitalization, 
which sums shall be properly invested as a permanent 
fund, the income only of which shall be expended. 

The regular meeting of the G eneral Society shall be held 
every three years, and special meetings may be held upon 
the order of the general president, or upon the request of 
two of the State Societies, and such meetings shall consist 
of the gfeneral officers and a representation not exceeding 
five deputies from each State Society, and the necessary 
expenses of such meeting shall be borne by the State So- 
cieties. 

At the regular meeting- a general president, vice-presi- 



Constitution. 33 

dent, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, assistant 
treasurer, and chaplain shall be chosen by a majority of 
the votes present to serve until the next reg-ular g-eneral 
meeting-, or until their successors are duly chosen. 

At each g-eneral meeting- the circular-letters which have 
been transmitted by the several State Societies shall be 
considered, and all measures taken which shall conduce to 
the general welfare of the Society. 

The General Society shall have power, at any meeting-, 
to admit State Societies thereto, and to entertain and de- 
termine all questions affecting- the qualification for mem- 
bership in or the welfare of any State Society as may by 
proper memorial be presented by such State 'Society for 
consideration.

g-ood character, and a descendant of one who as a military, 
naval, or marine officer, soldier, sailor, or marine, in actual 
service under the authority of any of the thirteen Colonies 
or States, or of the Continental Cong-ress, and remaining 
always loyal to such authorit}^ or a descendant of one who 
sig-ned the Declaration of Independence, or of one who, as 
a member of the Continental Cong-ress or of the Cong-ress 
of any of the Colonies or States or as an official appointed 
by or under the authority of any such leg-islative bodies, 
actually assisted in the establishment of American Inde- 
pendence by services rendered during- the War of the Rev- 
olution, becoming- thereby liable to conviction of treason 
ag-ainst the government of Great Britain, but remaining 
always loyal to the authority of the Colonies or States, 
shall be eligible to membership in the Society. 

The secretary of each State Society shall transmit to the 
general secretary a list of the members thereof, together 
with the names and official designations of those from whom 
such members derive claim to membership ; and thereafter, 
upon the admission of members in each State Society, the 
secretary thereof shall transmit to the general secretary 
information respecting such members similar to that there- 
in required. 

The Society shall have an insignia, which shall be a

ously on the left breast, but members who are or have 
been officers of the Society may wear the insignia sus-

SECTION XIII. 

No person who may be enrolled as a member in this 



Society shall be permitted to continue in membership 
where the proofs of claim of qualification by descent are 
found to be defective and insufficient to substantiate such 
claim, or not properly authenticated. The Society or the 
Board of Managers may, at any time after thirty days' 
notice to such person to properly substantiate or authenti- 
cate his claim, require the Secretary to erase his name from 
the list of members, and such person shall thereupon 
cease to be a member: Provided^ He shall have failed or 
neglected to comply satisfactorily with such notice. 

Where the Board of Managers shall direct the erasure 
of a person's name for a cause comprehended under this 
section, such person shall have a right of appeal to the 
next annual meeting; but he shall not be restored to mem- 
bership unless by a majority vote on that occasion, or at a 
subsequent meeting to which the consideration of the ap- 
peal may have been specifically postponed. 

SECTION XIV. 

The Board of Managers shall have power to expel any 
enrolled member of this Society who may render himself 
unworthy to continue a member, Provided^ That he shall 
have received at least ten days' notice of the complaint 
preferred against him, and of the time and place for hear- 
ing the same, and have been thereby afforded an oppor- 
tunity to be heard in person or by counsel. 

Whenever the cause of expulsion shall not have involved 
turpitude or moral unworthiness, any member thus ex- 
pelled may upon the recommendation of the Board of Man- 
agers, but not otherwise, be restored to membership by 
the Society at any meeting. 

The Board of Managers shall also have power to drop 
from the Roll the name of any enrolled member of the So- 
ciety who shall be at least two years in arrears in the pay- 
ment of dues, and who, on notice to pay the same, shall 
fail and neglect to do so within ten days thereafter, and, 
upon being thus dropped, his membership shall cease and 
determine, but he may be restored to membership at 



44 Sons of tijc Kcfolution. 

any time by the Board of Manag-ers on his application there- 
for, and upon his payment of all such arrears. The Board 
of Manag-ers may also suspend any officer from the per- 
formance of his duties for cause, which proceeding must 
be reported to the Society and acted upon by it within 
thirty days, either by rescission of the suspension or re- 
moval of the suspended officer from office, or otherwise the 
suspension shall cease. 

SECTION XV.

ber to such ofB.ce pro teynpore^ who shall act in such capacity 
until the Society shall elect a successor, or until the inabil- 
ity due to "absence, sickness, or other cause" shall cease: 
Provided, however. That the office of President shall not 
thus be filled Vv^hen there shall be a Vice-President to en- 
ter upon its duties. 

Subject to these provisions, all officers of the Society 
and the members of the Board of Manag-ers shall, from 
the time of their election or appointment, continue in their 
respective offices until the next annual meeting-, and until 
their respective successors shall be duly chosen. 

Nothing- in this section shall be so construed as to allow 
any member of the Board of Manag-ers to authorize any 
person to vote for him by proxy or otherwise. 

SECTION XVI. 

No resig-nation or voluntary withdrawal from member- 
ship of any member enrolled in this Society shall become 
effective as a release from the oblig-ations thereof, unless 
consented to and accepted by the Board of Manag-ers. 

SECTION XVII. 
It shall be a standing- Rule that, upon the decease of any 



Bi)--€att)5. 45 

member residing- within the territorial jurisdiction of the 
Society, notice thereof and of the time and place of the 
funeral shall be given by the Secretary by publication, 
and it shall thereupon become the duty of the members, 
when practicable, to attend the obsequies. 

Any member, upon being- informed of the decease of a 
member, resident as stated, shall make it his business to 
see that the Secretary is promptly notified of the fact. 

SECTION XVIII.

be made unless proposed by some member of the Society 
in writing-. The Secretary shall send a printed copy of 
such proposed amendment to each member of the Society, 
naming- the time, when and place, where said proposed 
amendment shall be voted upon, and the voting- shall take 
place at any regular or special meeting- of the Society, pro- 
vided ten days' notice of the intention to vote upon said

OSCEOLA C. GREEN. 

Osceola C. Green was born in the District of Columbia, 
March 1st, 1838, his father being- John Green of Rosedale, 
and his mother Ann Forrest, the daug-hter of Uriah For- 
est, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Maryland line, during- the 
Revolution. His membership in the Society was thus ac- 
quired through the maternal line. He was elected a mem- 
ber May 5th, 1890. Immediately after his death, at a meet- 
ing- of the Board of Manag-ers of the Society held July 1st, 
1895, the following- resolutions were unanimously adopted : 

"Resolved: That the Society has learned with profound 
regret of the death of Osceola C. Green, a true and loyal 
member of the Sons of the Revolution. 

"Resolved: That by his death the Society of the Sons of 
the Revolution has lost an active, earnest, loyal member, 
the community a citizen of the hig-hest repute and integ-- 
rity,— one ever devoted to its interests, advancement and 
development. 

"Resolved: That the Board of Manag-ers of the Sons of 
the Revolution of the District of Columbia tenders to the 
bereaved daughter the assurances of its deepest sym- 
pathy. 

"Resolved further: That a copy of these resolutions be 
transcribed upon the minutes of the Society."

til his death April 13th, 1895. At a meeting- of the Board 
of Manag-ers of the Society held April 24th, 1895, the fol- 
lowing- memorial and resolutions were offered by Mr. Ben- 
jaman Lewis Blackford and unanimously adopted: 

"Charles Fisk McDermott, g-reat-g-randson of Georg-e 
Bender, private Col. Ward's reg-iment, Massachusetts 
line, died in Washingfton, D. C, April 13th, 1895. 

"Charles Fisk McDermott was of honorable lineag-e, and 
by his ceaseless devotion to duty, his spotless character 
and his purity of life, he well sustained the honor of his 
birth, and endeared himself to all his associates and friends. 

"His death was a sudden one; he was stricken down at 
his desk in the War Department, where he had been a con- 
spicuously faithful official, and where his talents as an 
expert penman had rendered his services well nigh in- 
dispensable. 

"He passes away in the very discharg-e of the duty for 
which his talents and abilities had so admirably fitted him. 

"He died as he lived — a Christian g-entleman. 

"The Episcopal Church, of which he was a member, and 
in whose behalf he was an ardent, earnest worker, will 
feel his loss and g-reatly miss the benefit of his cheerful 
presence and untiring- energ-y. 

"Resolved : That the Board of Manag-ers of the District 
of Columbia Society, Sons of the Revolution, have learned 
with the deepest reg-ret of the death of Mr. Charles Fisk 
McDermott. 

"That by his death the Society has lost an active, loyal 
member, the community a man of unquestioned integ-rity, 
of Christian character, purposes and life. 

"Resolved: That the Board of Manag-ers, on behalf of 
the Society, extend to the mother, brother, and sister of 
the deceased the assurances of their deepest sympathy in 
the loss of a loving- son and an affectionate brother. 

"Resolved further: That a copy of these resolutions be 
sent to the family of the deceased, and that they be en- 
tered upon the minutes of the Society."

CHARLES ADDISON MANN. 

Charles Addisoii Mann, the son of Charles Addison 
Mann, of Utica, New York, was born May 20, 1834, in 
Utica. His father was a disting-uished lawyer and mem- 
ber of the State Leg-islature. 

He entered the Society of the Sons of the Revolution as 
a descendant of Colonel Jacob Ford, the Society of the 
Colonial Wars as a descendent of Richard Mann, Hon. Rich- 
ard Butler, Hon. John Porter, Rev. Samuel Stone, Hon. 
James Heaton and John Sutton. 

Mr. Mann was a g-raduate of Williston Seminary, East- 
ham pton, Mass., class of 1852, and of Yale University, 
class of 1856. He spent some time in Germany studying- 
the lang-uag-e and travelled extensively in other parts of 
Europe. On his return he studied law in his father's office 
in Utica, and in Mann and Rodman's office in New York. 

In 1864 he married Alice Consett, daug-hter of Rev. Dr. 
Paterson of New Jersey, and g-rand-daug-hter of President 
Charles King- of Columbia Colleg-e, New York. After the 
death of his wife he ag-ain traveled extensively in Europe. 
His second Avife whom he married in 1874 was Mary Eliza- 
beth Lee, daug-hter of William Barlow Lee of Washington, 
D. C. She is a member and ex-officer of the Society of the 
Daug-hters of The American Revolution and a member of 
The Colonial Dames and Hug-uenot Societies. 

In 1874 he came to Washing-ton to live. 

On xMarch 12, 1896, he died of heart failure at St. Paul, 
Minn., v/hile attending to the interests of the property he 
owned there. 

Mr. Mann published a book entitled "Paper Money," 
and left at his death an astronomical and philosophical 
work nearlv completed, which is soon to be published. 

The following resolutions were adopted after Mr. Mann's 
death: 

"Whereas theBoard of Managers oftheSons of the Rev- 
lution in the District of Columbia has heard with deep 
regret of the death at St. Paul, Minn., of Charles Addison 
Mann, a member of this Societv- 



90 (Dbituarii. 

"Resolved, that the Secretary be directed to convey to 
his widow and children an expression of the sincere sym- 
pathy of this Board with their bereavement. 

"Mr. Mann was a citizen who was faithful to every trust 
confided to him, a g-entleman of hig-h mental attainments 
and a patriot devoted to the welfare of his country. 

"And be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolu- 
tions be spread upon the minutes of this Society and trans- 
mitted to the family of our lamented associate." 



GEORGE BROWN GOODE. 

Just before the year book of the Society g-oes to press 
announcement is made of the death of the Vice-President 
of the Society, G. Brown Goode, LL. D., on Sunday, Sep- 
tember 6th. From the formation of the Society Dr. 
Goode was one of its staunchest and most zealous friends, 
and from the beginning- his energ-ies were directed towards 
the consummation of a union between our Society and the 
Sons of the American Revolution, under one constitution 
and one name. 

Notwithstanding his arduous labors in the cause of 
science, he gave freely of his time to the Sons of the Revolu- 
tion, and it was g-enerally recog^nized that to no one was 
the Society under greater obligations for intelligent ser- 
vice. 

His death at this time cannot but be regarded as a sad 
misfortune, and the honor in which he was held while liv- 
ing- cannot mitigate the grief which his loss has caused to 
the Sons of the Revolution.

who served for seven years in the Revolutionary Army, 
first as a private, next as ensig-n, then as a lieutenant and 
finally as a captain in the 9th Virg-inia Infantry. After- 
wards Joseph Winlock served as a Brig-adier General in 
the war of 1812 and in command of the troops which were 
orderea out to intercept Aaron Burr's expedition in 1806.

Harvard. CoUeg-e embraced a scientific career in which he 
attained an enviable reputation. He attached' himself to
